410.14.1 Purpose
The purpose of emergency leave is to allow the President the ability to grant temporary leave to eligible employees due to a natural disaster, inclement weather or other reasons which may restrict or jeopardize the employee's safety.
410.14.2 Eligibility
Eligible employees are regular full-time employees working 30 or more hours per week, associate faculty, regular part-time employees, full-time one-year temporary employees (as defined in 443.1.3.3, #1) and full-time faculty. Temporary employees are not eligible.
410.14.3 Scope of Benefit
Emergency leave is determined on a site by site basis. The President or designee in conjunction with site coordinators will determine the need to suspend operations at site locations.
During a college closure, emergency and essential personnel may be required to report for work. Any employee required to work during a college closure, will be awarded time off with pay that is equal to the time worked during the closure. The scheduling of time-off will be determined by the supervisor.
Employees on approved sick leave will not be granted emergency leave. Employees on approved vacation leave will not be granted emergency leave unless circumstances causing the closure (for example, inclement weather) directly interfere with their vacation plans.
410.14.4 Employee Notification/Responsibility
Employees are responsible to listen or watch local media (TV, radio, Internet, newspaper, etc) in order to learn of a college closure.
Unless otherwise directed, employees are not to report to work during a college or site closure.
